Max Lucado – The Greatest News in the World

The greatest news in the world is not that God made the world but that God loves the world. He loves you. You did not earn this love. His love for you will not end if you lose your temper. His love for you will not fade if you lose your way, nor will His love diminish if your discipline does.

Someone told you that God loves good people. Wrong. There are no good people. Someone told you that God loves you if you love him first. Wrong. He loves people who have never thought of him. Someone told you that God is ticked off, cranky, and vindictive. Wrong. We tend to be ticked off, cranky, and vindictive. But God? “God is sheer mercy and grace; not easily angered, he’s rich in love” (Psalm 103:8). God loves you! And because God’s promises are unbreakable our hope is unshakable!
